Example:
In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for
position (a) in the above figure:
• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° LEFT.
• Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6°
RIGHT.
• Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden)
surface down on the turn base with its CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on the
saw.
• The finished piece to be used will always be on
the LEFT side of the blade after the cut has been
made.
Cutting aluminum extrusion
► Fig.51: 1. Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence
4. Aluminum extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut thick or round
aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions
may come loose during operation and round alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this
tool.
Wood facing
WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood
facing to the guide fence. The screws should be
installed so that the screw heads are below the
surface of the wood facing so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material being
cut. Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement during the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use the straight wood of even
thickness as the wood facing.

Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.

NOTICE:
When the wood facing is attached, do
not turn the turn base with the handle lowered.
The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
Cutting repetitive lengths
CAUTION:
For the tool equipped with the hold-
ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 220 mm to 385 mm, use the set
plate (optional accessory). Install the set plate on the
holder (optional accessory) as shown in the figure.
► Fig.52: 1. Set plate 2. Holder 3. Screw
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and
while holding the workpiece, move the set plate flush
against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the set
plate with the screw.
When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw and
turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE: Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional
accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm approximately.

Groove cutting

WARNING:
type of cut by using a wider type blade or dado
blade. Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
to the original position when performing other
than groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with
the stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
